About This Bike:

Gone are the days when a date with a hardtail race bike meant paying for it for days to come. Now, the Epic Hardtail Comps reality-altering combination of comfort and capability in a lighter-than-life package means counting down the hours until you meet again.

Working towards the lightest bike possible has long been the race within the race, but at what cost? The battle of the grams certainly hasnt been without its casualties, with hardtail XC race bikes coming to stand for a harsh, twitchy ride at the expense of capability and versatility.

But who said fatigue from fighting against your bike makes you any faster? Instead, recognizing that the fastest bike is more than simply the lightest bike, we said out with thejarred-to-death tail, themeasure-your-posteriors-sorrows-by-the-yard tail,and in with theavant-garde tail. The ridiculously capable, mystifyingly comfortable, head-shakingly light, and all-around fast Epic Hardtail.

Sure, we optimized every inch of the Epic Hardtail frame to achieve the lightest production hardtail frame in the world anywaybut we also prioritized our commitment to creating an Epic Hardtail thats as capable as it is comfortable with aggressive singletrack-inspired geometry, increased tire clearance and a frame obsessively engineered for increased vertical compliance, all while creating a bike that lives and breathes the fundamentals of fast.

On the Epic Hardtail Comp, RockShox’s long-beloved SID SL fork is tasked with handling suspension duties, while a full SRAM GX Eagle groupset leaves no doubts about why it sets the benchmark for accessible performance.

• Ridiculously capable, incredibly light, and refreshingly comfortable, the Epic Hardtails dropper-post friendly FACT 11m carbon frame rewrites the hardtail playbook with game-changing success.
• The SID SL doles out travel with a steady hand courtesy of RockShox’s Rush RL damper, while Debon Air adjustability makes dialing in suspension performance a breeze.
• SRAM’s GX Eagle shifting has always been the benchmark for affordable high performance, and the latest offering simply raises it even further.
